Hello everyone,
I started this (first) thread because I made a mistake and I'm desperately need a help.
I saw this news here:
Code:
theandroidsoul .c0m /sony-xperia-sp-cm13-brings-marshmallow-update-unofficially-85874/
about unofficial marshmallow update for Xperia SP from Cyanogenmod and I thought that this is awesome
So yeah, I followed the instruction and installed the update from recovery. But what I didn't aware is that I installed the ROM on my Xperia SP with the bootloader still locked.
I know it's stupid, I admit. I forgot about the bootloader.
Now my phone can't be turned on. When I press and hold the power button for 3 seconds, there's a brief vibration and then there's nothing at all.
What should I do now to fix it? With fastboot? Flashboot?
Any guide will be much obliged
Use Flashtool v0.9.18.6 to flash stock ftf,
Then unlock the bootloader using DoomLord's guide.
Flash the boot.img from the stock rom and perform a software and everything should be fine to unlock the bootloader

Hey guys i know there is probably an answer in here somewhere but ihave looked everywhere and tried all possible options to get this working. After my pc companion nagging at me to upgrade i bit the bullet and upgraded to JB 4.3 10.4.B.0.569
Afterwards i then found out that it had relocked bootloader and unrooted my phone..
So i went through the sony normal way of unlocked bootloader first of all... this is where i've hit a snag.. first time the Command promp told me it had failed then itried again with my KEY and it said DONE.... now my phone was stuck in a terrifying bootloop. So i then flashed 4.3 firmware using flashtools, and repaired my phone through sony center.... again.. tried to unlock bootloader and was stuck in boot loop. I have re flashed about 4 times and tried to unlock 4 times... still getting boot loops....
Any one care to shed some light on this?
Many thanks
Chris
Bootloader
Is bootloader unlock allowed?
Have you tried relocking it again using flashtool?

Hey
I was playing around with 4.3 all last night and managed to get root on my Z with locked BL,
Here is how I did it..
(Locked bootloader, skip unlocking if already unlocked)
- Flash the .67 firmware via flashtool
- Root 4.2 as you would have
- Unlock your bootloader and Backup the TA partition to relock this without losing any DRM keys
- Using flashtool flash the new firmware .569 (4.3)
- Then flash Doomlords advanced stock kernel
- Boot 4.3 and power down
- Using the recover installed with the kernel flash a superSU.zip from somewhere around here.
- Reboot and you now should have root
[Locked bl]
- Reflash ONLY just .569 kernel from the FTF
- Power on and Restore your TA partition to relock your boot loader and return everything back to normal..but with some root
As for your bootloader not unlocking properly i would first check to see if an unlock is allowed
when i try to flash 4.2 67 firmware..i just got bootloop..please someone help me..what have i done wrong..i still in LB..
Wipe data when flashing.

Just unlock your bootloader through Flashtool when on newest firmware, flash advanced stock kernel, root,flash back stock kernel and re-lock your bootloader. should be working for you, and it wont take that much time :good::good:

If the warranty and features such as Bravia Engine 2 are important to anyone, please don't just follow this. Your DRM keys that allow BE2 to work and your warranty will be permanently lost.
Follow the earlier post in this thread and downgrade, root and backup your TA partition BEFORE unlocking the bootloader.

Ok! I am stuck at the sony logo then a screen appears saying that something went wrong while i was updating the device.
all I did was flash a wrong recovery image for my old phone & then this happened
what I tried:
1. tried to update from the flash tool (didn't work)
2. tried the sony PC companion & it didn't work either, it either says that I have modified software that can't be updated or says that my system doesn't have any updates
my phone is ZR C5502, bootloader was unlocked when I flashed the wrong recovery image.
Please help me I need the phone to work
Thanks in Advance

Did you take the backup of DRM keys and TA partition while unlocking bootloader? Sony PC comp does not support unlocked phones. you will have to restore the DRM keys and TA partition.
If you have lost both of these, then flash custom kernel and stock or AOSP based ROM using flashtool. search in forums for more info
Thank You!
I Had the Backup & tried Relocking the Bootloader but the PC companion couldn't help me, anyway, I flashed a flash custom kernel and stock ROM using flashtool, thank you so much :good:
Hi. I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 (honami) and I tried to install Cyanogenmod on it by following this tutorial:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami
What I did:
1. Unlocked bootloader, had no problems with that.
2. Went to fastboot, flashed over Boot.img, after that I couldn't get to recovery (probably because I didn't install it first)
3. Tried another Boot.img for the Free Xperia project, after that my device had a flashing red light.
4. Reflashed the previous CM Boot.img back.
3. I was told to install recovery, so I installed TWRP (Still couldn't get to recovery mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rec-twrp-2-8-6-0-z1-honami-t3074845
Now I've downloaded Flashtool along with a general FTF file, my next plan was to flash the whole thing, but I'm asking if there was something I did wrong and how to fix up this mess?
Right now by going into recovery mode I get stuck at Sony logo, tried waiting 10 minutes but nothing.
EDIT: Tried to fix it by installing Emma, reinstalled stock lollipop ROM, and TA (I think that's recovery) and nothing, can't even see sony logo anymore
EDIT2: Flashed stock ROM with Flashtool, still doesn't work...
Hello everyone,
I have Sony Xperia SP. I have succesfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader, but when i close the phone and then open it and push the volume down button and doesn't work. I double checked both root and bootloader access and it's good. Any idea that could help me?
Thank you!
Hi, Alligator have you flashed a custom recovery like CWM (ClockWorkMod) or TWRP?
